From the zany comedic genius of Mel Brooks comes The Producers, the musical that redefined Broadway comedy! Join Max Bialystock, a washed-up Broadway producer, and Leo Bloom, his neurotic accountant, as they cook up the most outrageous get-rich-quick scheme in showbiz history: stage the worst musical ever, pocket the investors’ cash, and run. What could possibly go wrong? Everything—hilariously!
Adapted from Brooks’ 1967 film, this laugh-a-minute romp features larger-than-life characters, wickedly funny double entendres, and splashy show-stopping musical numbers. With a truly hysterical book co-written by Brooks and Thomas Meehan, The Producers proudly proclaims itself an “equal opportunity offender,” skewering Broadway traditions with enough chutzpah to fill Times Square!
It’s Mel Brooks at his absolute best—bawdy, irreverent, and satirical—delivered with his signature style that’ll leave you howling in the aisles!
Running Time: 2 hours and 45 minutes, with one 15-minute intermission
Content advisory: Mel Brooks…need we say more? But seriously, this production contains mature themes, suggestive humor, and adult language.
Recommended Age: 13+
The Producers is presented through special arrangement with Music Theatre International (MTI). All authorized performance materials are also supplied by MTI. www.mtishows.com
